Diet Pills

        

             Have you ever noticed, the different kinds of diet pills there are? We see so many on television, thinking wow that can actually happen to me if I take a diet pill. They are just trying to get the consumers to buy, buy, buy the entire product and it will not even work half the time. We see on the commercials the before and after shots of the person but how do we not know that they are not digitally enhanced photos done to stun there audience. I think the hydroxycut ad is very effective for women. The way they advertise this pill, even makes me wonder if it is possible to the extent of I might want to take it. Once at the gym, I saw one of the trainers had this diet pill and asked if it really did work and they said, “Yes of course but not for me to take it”. Like what is that suppose to mean. I am guessing that only bigger people who are actually trying to lose weight should take it. However, does this actually beat just regular diet and exercise? Personally, if a person just wants to lose weight that should be all there is to it. Why rely on some pill that can have effects on your body or that will not even work?

            Diet and exercise should just be enough for people who are trying to lose weight; if they put enough effort into that instead of some pill they can acquire the results they want. Who actually knows if these different diet pills that are constantly being advertised on television work? The advertisers are simply trying to get your money by taking the easy way out. There is never going to be an easy way out in life, we all need to work hard to get where we want to be.  

From Myspace, to Face book, to Twitter ...

Have you noticed how everyone, who is anybody is on MySpace? I go to school, people are on MySpace, when I am at work I constantly here the little kids talking about being on it and who is who’s friend, and I also here about it when I am home, whether it is on the news or not. When people ask if I have a MySpace, they are surprised that I do not have one. They go “really” in amazement. It never really caught my attention even if all of my friends had one does not mean necessarily that I need to have one to be in the loop. Fact is, if you notice, there is a lot of drama because of MySpace. People start fights through there and also couples break up because of the rumors that he might be talking to someone else. Why even be on MySpace, if you know you are going to end up having endless problems because of it? I guess people just like the attention or excitement that it brings to their lives.

            Now to top it all off, we have face book. I was making my 26-year-old sister an account today and I asked her why was this so important and she said because everyone has one. Is she saying that just because we see what other people do, it is okay to copy? Monkey see monkey do. She does not even know why she wants it, if it had not been for her co-worker, she would not have got one. I just told her it is the same thing as MySpace. Like she said “No there is a difference”. It happens to be that Face book is supposedly more sophisticated, different age group. Everybody is going to not care and end up on there.

            As time passes, there are going to be more new internet virtual chat rooms for people to talk on like the newest one today “Twitter”. They made such a big deal of this that it even came out on the news about Ashton Kutcher having one million friends on there. This is even affecting the news, it is basically taking over the world. 

Legalization of Drugs

This dispute on whether or not drugs should be illegal or not has been going on since they were first introduced. I have noticed that this war on drugs, we will never win. People have there perspectives on them, some may be that taking them does harm to your body and others that it helps you relieve stress. If instead of trying to stop all the use of drugs, why not just legalize them? The drug prohibition era has not stopped people from trying these illegal substances. By controlling them we can assign the right amount of dosage for people. We will know what gets sold and how much gets taken in by the consumer. By looking at the different parts in Europe that have legalized drugs, they have coffee shops that sell a perfect amount of drugs to people and crime rate is down. If they can legalize drugs and have a great outcome on it, should it not just be a perfect model for us to take example from?            

Legalization of all drugs would definitely help our economy out; it will create jobs for millions. Then we would not have such a bad economy.

People are never going to stop doing drugs and embedding this into our minds does not acquire world peace or stop all the crime relating to this issue. We cannot even keep drugs out of the jails, what is the difference between that and the streets? The people should be the ones to decide whether or not to legalize drugs. We managed to get thru the prohibition on alcohol; we can manage to do the same with drugs at hand. The legality of all drugs would soon enough be the only conclusion we would all agree upon in the coming years and then maybe we can help prevent drug overdoses or crime.
